How do we know Christ's merits are our acceptance before God?

Answered in 1 source

We are accepted before God solely through the righteousness and sacrifice of Jesus Christ, not by our own works.

The New Testament emphasizes that our acceptance before God is entirely based on the finished work of Jesus Christ. As stated in Colossians 2:10, believers are 'perfect and complete' in Him. This principle is echoed in 1 Corinthians 1:30, where Christ is described as our wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption. This affirms that our standing before God is rooted not in our own merits but solely in those of Christ. Therefore, confidence before God rests upon His grace and the atoning blood of Jesus.
